Extract fan repair in Stanton Harcourt, done properly
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers belts and pulleys, bearings and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a dead fan motor and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
For a fan repair in or near Stanton Harcourt, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Common questions in Stanton Harcourt
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stanton Harcourt?
Food hygiene inspections in Stanton Harcourt are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Can you get to a site in Stanton Harcourt?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stanton Harcourt is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Stanton Harcourt
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Why deal with it now?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Stanton Harcourt rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

When a fan fails in Stanton Harcourt
At about 59 miles from central London, Stanton Harcourt sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Stanton Harcourt. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Stanton Harcourt CofE Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Stanton Harcourt
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan rattling in its housing
Hall kitchens near Church of St Michael, or anywhere around Stanton Harcourt, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
